In July 2022, the new “Austrian Tigers” paint scheme was finished at Zeltweg Air Base. It represents the red-white-red Austrian Flag, and the mountains on the tail represent the landscape of Austria. The Tiger and the stripes above the tiger represent the Austrian Air Force in the Tiger association. Every year the NATO Tiger meet is held in a country that is a member of the Tiger association. A country does not need to be in the NATO to be in the NATO Tiger association, this is also the reason why Austria, Switzerland, and other countries are members of “Tiger squadron”.
